I am re-reading one of my favorite #books: "The Snow Leopard" by Peter Matthiessen. It is a #travel book set in 1973 in #Nepal as the author accompanies a #science expedition into the #Himalayas. It is a book about #nature and a #Buddhist introspection on grief and change.

The cool thing is that I am #reading the chapters on the day they were set. A really nice experience if you have never read such a book like that before.

I’d be super grateful if someone with skills would make an “ #Antifa Chaplaincy Corps” or « antifascist clergy » logo. As an #antifascist #buddhist monk I assume there are many other clergy from the world religions who are not okay with authoritarian regimes but are hesitant to wear a symbol that can be seen as « militant ».

I wear a burgundy/maroon Basque beret but assume Christian clergy would opt for black. It’s the only way I can subtly show my support openly since my beret matches my robes and we’re only allowed to wear certain colours, and black isn’t one of the allowed colours for Buddhist clergy apart from the Zen folks.
